What a disaster for France on their tour of Argentina! First their fullback posts a selfie video saying I’ll smack the next Arab I see then 2 players arrested for sexual assault.
I thought it had been posted by others? Either way, bizarre thing to say while touring Argentina I would've thought.
Possibly a reaction to events at home

I’ve always enjoyed a game a day personally
But I’ve always lived close to the stadium

Rhys Webb, former Wales scrum half is apparently banned for four years for use of growth hormone last summer.
Mind you this is from Ruck.com so the truth is probably that he has been pre-selected to captain the Lions

Nope
He’s gone
But he’ll return as a lock

@MiketheSnow Sunday games at Twickenham are as flat as a pancake. I'd miss Friday night games though.

Anyone watch this in full? I watched the highlights and they didn't show what all the cards were for.

Duhan Van Der Merwe equals the Scottish try scoring record, 27 now ( along with Stuart Hogg )
Marvellous effort for a nation not noted for expansive back play.

Scotland have been slowly evolving since Townsend has taken over. Always a threat in the 6 nations now and of recent have had the upper hand on England. Having lived and played there for a few years, my experience is they always bang on about playing an expansive game and getting the ball wide. A much different approach to the other nations. It also helps having 10 like Finn Russell.

Spain playing Tonga at the moment - right on halftime and Tonga are down 05 - 16 and not looking like they will be able to mount any sort of comeback. In fact they would probably struggle to finish out of the bottom three if they were in the NPC if this is the best they have got.
Live stream available here
-
The live stream seems to have cut out ten minutes or so into the second half right at the point where Sefo Sakalia had a try disallowed with the score standing at Tonga 08 - 18 Spain
Thankfully Tonga a bit better in the second half that I saw, hopefully the link will be re-established so the entire match can be viewed. -
@Higgins ah thats where I jumped in....why was it disallowed? They were under advantage, he scored, then ref called it back for a pen?
-
@taniwharugby Not exactly sure but from memory it looked like he might have detached from a ruck and picked up the ball not having retreated into an onside position but will have to watch it again later to see for sure. Anyway it is now 13 - 23 with about ten minutes to go.
-
Great band at half time
-
Weak Tongan defence at that first try
